France’s strong rental market
In spite of strong emerging markets in Eastern Europe, France maintains a stronghold in the rental or what is also known as the buy-to-let market. This is also aside from the fact that is still maintains itself as a favoured destination for holidays and retirement days.
Property investment specialists Assetz noted the one hundred percent increase of property sales in France since January 2006.
France’s proximity to Britain has shown investment advantages. Its continuing leaseback scheme offers investment opportunities without hassle, most especially for holiday rental properties, and the quality possessed by French property is an edge over the emerging competitors in the east. People still go to France because of its established infrastructure and its popular culture and lifestyle, not to mention its excellent food and wine.

France offers much for buy-to-let market investors
France is proving an attractive option for buy-to-let investors and is holding its own against some of the stronger European property propositions, according to a new report.
New figures from property investment specialists Assetz have shown that despite the emergence of strong investment markets in popular Eastern European countries such as Bulgaria and Croatia, there has been an astounding 100 per cent increase in French sales since January 2006.
Particularly interesting is the high regard with which British buy-to-let property investors treat France. As Britain’s closest European neighbour, France has always proved a popular investment proposition due to its continuing leaseback scheme. The scheme offers investment opportunities in holiday rental properties without any of the associated market hassles, while also allowing investors the possibility for corporate lets in chic French cities such as Paris and Strasbourg.
Moreover, the quality offered by French properties is an advantage reflected right across the scale in the region’s growth as a buy-to-let hotspot.

Further progress for blossoming Bulgaria
There is new evidence today of Bulgaria’s continued progress as it cements its reputation as a European property hotspot.
Bulgaria is set to join the EU and it is a prospect that has hugely enhanced the country’s status as a strong option for property investment. Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo have proved particularly popular with investors, largely as the ski properties are still exceptionally cheap despite huge levels of investment in recent years.
There is also a chance that Bulgaria will host the 2014 Winter Olympics, which has again stirred interest from investors across the world.
But EU accession is of course the real attraction for many, with experts suggesting that it will bring about huge house price growth as links with Europe are notably enhanced.
